Resources

Benchmark

Indicator

 

A.   Explain that scientific knowledge must be based on evidence, be       predictive, logical, subject to modification and limited to the       natural world.

1.   Comprehend that many scientific investigations require the       contributions of women and men from different disciplines in and       out of science. These people study different topics, use different       techniques and have different standards of evidence but share a       common purpose – to better understand a portion of our universe.

3.   Demonstrate that reliable scientific evidence improves the ability of       scientists to offer accurate predictions.

 

B.   Explain how scientific inquiry is guided by knowledge, observations, ideas and questions.         

5.   Justify that scientific theories are explanations of large bodies of       information and/or observations that withstand repeated testing.

6.   Explain that inquire fuels observation and experimentation that       produce data that are the foundation of scientific disciplines.       Theories are explanations of these data.

7.   Recognize that scientific knowledge and explanations have       changed over time, almost building on earlier knowledge.

 

C.   Describe the ethical practices and guidelines in which       science operates.

2.   Illustrate that the methods and procedures used to obtain evidence       must be clearly reported to enhance opportunities for further       investigations.

4.   Explain how support of ethical practices in science (e.g., individual       observations and confirmations, accurate reporting, peer review       and publication) are required to reduce bias.

 

D.   Recognize that scientific literary is part of being a       knowledgeable citizen.

8.   Illustrate that much can be learned about the internal workings of       science and the nature of science from the study of scientists,       their daily work and their efforts to advance scientific knowledge in       their area of study.

 

D.   Recognize that scientific literary is part of being a       knowledgeable citizen.

9.   Investigate how the knowledge, skills and interests learned in       science classes apply to the careers students plan to pursue.
